Top 5 Reasons to Be Alone

The single life isn't so shabby after all.

Top 5 Reasons to Be Alone
Huffington Post

Being single can be a drag sometimes. We all want someone to cuddle and talk to, but more than often that's not the case. It's not all bad. Having time to find yourself is a good thing, especially in college. The summer right after high school graduation is vital because that's when we set up our expectations and sort of plan our lives accordingly. The summer following your freshman year of college you realize that those expectations were a little out of focus. For most people, this is the first time they've been free (whatever that means) and they just want to have a good time. There's nothing wrong with that at all. It's really a great feeling, so I've compiled my top six reasons why I'm alone and I'm perfectly fine with it.

1. He's still a child

You're an adult now, so you don't have time for those childish games.

2. You'll have more food

They say that a way to a mans heart is food, but food is a girls first love. Who needs someone always taking the last left over tacos? Not me. Food will be bae forever.

3. You're still young

You have forever to be stressed over someone who takes themselves too seriously. This is your time, girl! Live it up.

4. Grades before babes

It doesn't matter how hot he is, you GPA will always look better. And to be honest, it's probably the most long-term of the two.

5. Senioritis

Senioritis is the worst, but it gets even worse when you have a boyfriend constantly wanting your attention. Trust me, he can wait.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
